Answer:
Time = 0.58 seconds
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial momentum = 3 kgm/s
Final momentum = 10 kgm/s
Force = 12 N
To find the time required for the change in momentum;
First of all, we would determine the change in momentum.
[tex] Change \; in \; momentum = final \; momentum - initial \; momentum [/tex]
[tex] Change \; in \; momentum = 10 - 3 [/tex]
Change in momentum = 7 kgm/s
Now, we can find the time required;
Note: the impulse of an object is equal to the change in momentum experienced by the object.
Mathematically, impulse (change in momentum) is given by the formula;
[tex] Impulse = force * time [/tex]
Making "time" the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] Time = \frac {impulse}{force} [/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Time = \frac {7}{12} [/tex]
Time = 0.58 seconds
